Hmmm... Yet more client-side code execution; great... This sounds like a possible attack vector to be carefully considered...
A true story... A client of mine way-back-when had a high-end, high-capacity HP printer "wide open", including by way of an unprotected WiFi network. They didn't take me seriously when I advised them they might not want to do this. Multiple times.
I finally called a meeting, and in front of them sent a print job "over the air" which consisted of a very small PostScript file which ran
Conway's Game of Life. One page per iteration...
Sort of a DOS, a benchmark (the printer's compute ability), and a proof-of-concept all wrapped into one...
